Vertical ss body twist lock barrel??

I'm new to mags and this forum I did a quick search but I'm not sure I know the terminology enough to find my answer. I'm in the proses of putting together a classic automag and I've purchased a ss emag "stove pipe" body. I was wondering if the twist lock barrel I have on my power feed body will work or if there is another style of twist lock barrel I need to be looking for? Thanks

Just to add another option. If you have a TL barrel that you like. You can actually drill a small indention in the slot that actually crosses the feed hole. And make a vertical notch out of what you have. Some use this option. Some prefer the proper TL slot.

please be steady with your tools if you do this or it just ends up looking like worm wood.

Sorry. Re reading my wording sounds like I'm saying to actually carve the slot. No no no. Most likely one of the slots you already have has a point in it that puts the barrel in the perfect position. All you have to do is drill an indention at that point in the slot that is already there for the TL pin to set in.

Sorry no pix from me. I don't have a vertical body. I've just seen this done a few times.
